Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13

An advisory alert has been issued for a remote  volcano in the western Aleutian Islands after dozens of earthquakes were reported in the area, an early sign of volcanic unrest.

The change means that five volcanoes being monitored in Alaska are now simultaneously active, the most in recent memory, said Matt Haney, a research geophysicist at the Alaska Volcano Observatory.

“We might have had four before, but we haven’t had five,” Haney said.

A total of 52 volcanoes in Alaska are considered by the observatory to be “historically active.” All are monitored daily through satellites, and about 30 are monitored with ground-based seismometers that measure earthquake activity. On Friday, the observatory raised the color code alert level for the Semisopochnoi  (pronounced Semi-so-poch-noi) volcano to “yellow,” a reflection of heightened unrest.

Haney said there doesn’t appear to be a connection between the five, just random chance. The other four volcanoes — Cleveland and Veniaminof volcanoes are in the “yellow” alert level, and the Pavlof and Shishaldin volcanoes are classified as “orange” – are among the most active in the state.
